HGTV star Christina Haack is opening up about her July 2024 separation from her third husband, Josh Hall.
In a January 2025 interview with Access Hollywood, alongside her ex-husband Tarek El Moussa and his wife Heather Rae El Moussa, Haack referenced that her children, Taylor, Brayden, and Hudson, were not a fan of her relationship with Hall, whom she married in 2022. In the trailer for the El Moussas and Haack’s upcoming series, “The Flip Out,” Haack told Tarek El Moussa, the father of Taylor and Brayden, that “the kids literally asked [her] to leave” Hall.
“They told me that he’s not nice to me. Why would I stick around?” said Haack to her ex-husband.
While speaking to Access Hollywood, Haack said she had mixed feelings about her children’s remarks about Hall. She said she was upset about the comments. She said, however, her children’s remarks helped her end her marriage, which she is thankful for.
“I already wasn’t doing well in the relationship. So to hear it from them, made me feel bad but it was kind of a relief. Because it sort of confirmed what I already knew needed to happen. And hearing from them was like I needed to put an end to it,” said Haack during the interview.
Tarek El Moussa also shared his reaction to his children’s comments regarding Haack’s third marriage.
“My reaction was you had to do what’s best for you and the kids. So if the environment wasn’t right and she wasn’t getting the love and respect she deserved as well as the children, it was time to move on,” said Tarek El Moussa to the publication.
Tarek El Moussa Discussed His Split From Christina Haack
In the trailer for “The Flip Off,” Haack emotionally told her ex-husband that she has been struggling “since 2016,” the year of their separation. Tarek El Moussa responded by apologizing to his ex-wife.
“I acknowledge that I’m a big part, if not the entire part, of all of this,” said Tarek El Moussa.
Tarek El Moussa explained his comment to Haack in the January 2025 Access Hollywood interview.
“We were married and then we weren’t. So that can change your life a little bit,” said Tarek El Moussa.
Haack chimed in that publicly going through their 2018 divorce negatively affected both of them.
“Our lives changed over night,” said Haack to Access Hollywood.
Tarek El Moussa Discussed What Led to His Breakup From Christina Haack
While speaking to E! News in February 2024, Tarek El Moussa explained what led to his breakup from Haack. He said that he went through treatments and surgeries following his 2013 cancer diagnosis. According to Tarek El Moussa, when he was “getting healthy again,” he hurt his back, which caused him to be “on opioids for a year.” He said he then began “taking testosterone injections,” worsening his behavior.
Tarek El Moussa said that “it was heartbreaking” when Haack ended their relationship in 2016. He said, however, that he “understand[s] why she did it,” as he “was a mess for quite a few years.”
Tarek El Moussa & Christina Haack Discussed Filming Together Again
In a January 2025 interview with Us Weekly, Tarek El Moussa discussed filming an HGTV show with Haack again. As fans are aware, the former couple previously filmed “Flip or Flop.” Tarek El Moussa said he was not concerned about co-starring with Haack, as they have “been in a really good place” for the “last couple of years.”
“It took us almost 10 years to get there, so going back into shooting together, it’s a lot more of an intimate relationship. There were some reservations. But as the show has gone on, we’ve realized it’s just business,” said Tarek El Moussa to Us Weekly.
He said, however, that he and his ex-wife did argue while filming the series.
“She always wants to get her way. She doesn’t want to have rules,” said Tarek El Moussa during the Us Weekly interview.
